Parents’ Role in Teen Driving
Friday, February 17th, 2012
Since birth, parents have the biggest responsibility on their children. But this responsibility does not end when the kids reach their teenage years. This is the period where the children want to explore things and so as driving. As parents, they are the ones expected to primarily educate their children on the right behavior on and off the road.
And giving consequences when their teens break a driving law will help in the avoidance of car accidents.A Liberty Mutual and SADD (Students against Destructive Decisions) study revealed that 44 percent more hours driving each week in the summer season than during the school year are spent by teens.
The study recommended that parents should firmly impose consequences for their teens’ not obeying driving laws such as those regarding speed limit, the use of cell phone and seat belt while driving, and the traffic signals.
